Default Bulging vein/artery in thigh after strength training, normal?

The long vein/artery in my left inside thigh bulges out a bit, particularly when I stand. There's also a pimple-sized bump near the end also. I have decently tone legs, and only seem to notice it after doing strength training. I have no idea if it's always been there and I just didn't notice (been strength training for awhile), but it's freaking me out a bit. Here's an artist's rendering:



It's only on my left leg, and the flesh around the vein appears more muscular/hard than on my right leg. There's no pain or anything. I do plan on seeing a doctor, but I don't want to waste his time, so any words would help a lot.
