Varicose vein near ankle
The specific vein you are talking about just above the inside ankle bone is the great saphenous vein which may be quite prominent in some individuals and normal in most. Take a look at the ankles of most young people, they all have this vein just over the medial (inside) ankle bone. Yours may be very prominent.
Endovenous procedures are not performed for this particular problem unless venous reflux extends all the way down here from the groin, called saphenofemoral venous reflux disease...

Bulging vein on ankle bone
Large vessels of the ankle area tends to be somewhat complex, with an increased risk of ulceration with sclerotherapy. I would consider consulting with a vascular surgeon familiar with all of the methods for treating varicose veins including endovenous laser techniques.
Good luck.
