Do varicose veins hurt to touch?

I have this one really sensitive spot on my leg, its a bit swollen but theres no bruising so I'm not sure what it is, could it be a varicose vein? I doesn't hurt like a cramp or a charliehorse, just very sensitive when I touch it.

Thank you for answering! I looked it up and it does not sound like it, but I will keep my eye on it just in case things change. I appreciate you taking the time to answer, I've asked this in a couple forums and no one answered.

Just to rule it out, look up the symptoms of deep vein thrombosis and see if there is any similarity.  You probably don't have DVT but it would be important to know if you do.
