Suggest Treatment For Swollen Vein In Ear

hi... for the last few weeks I have had this buldging/swollen looking vein under the helix part of my ear. At first I though it was a cyst cause it was just a bump. Then I tried squeezing it and it developed into the vein so I figured it wasnt a cyst... it was the end part of the vein. But now the whole vein, which is like a squigly look c shape is under the top fold of my ear. Any ideas on what it might be? Sadly I dont have any money right now to go to any kind of doctor. It doesnt really hurt. Maybe sometimes I feel it throb but thats it.

Hi.
Thanks for your query.
Read and understood the history.
The vein which appeared first may be just a normal small vein, and has got either extravasated due to your popping act or got enlarged on its own.

If there is no pain, tenderness, or redness stop worrying for the vein and the money which you do not have.
Just observe, wait and watch.
If there is any progression, we shall think of visit the Doctor to have a clinical evaluation and treatment if be necessary; otherwise it looks to be not to be worried about.
