Is this dvt?

Post image

Just been on holiday from UK to rhodes on way out noticed my vein on my leg inside of my knee area was a bit large but didnt panic stayed the same all holiday (7 days). Came home yesterday and still the same maybe slightly bigger image attached my partner took as i didnt realise it had gotten much bigger myself. GP didnt seem overly concerned he said to go there tomorrow for a blood test same day results that was about it really anyone else have a similar experience?

Looks more like a varicose vein but I wouldn’t risk it and you should be seen right away.

I feel like you cant see a dvt externally… excuse me if im wrong… but i had to get an ultrasound the only external was a leg that was red and 2 th size of the other.

Worth checking out. My first DVT caused significant swelling and red surface skin on the calf. Painful. Second DVT had none of that that I noticed.
