See your doctor.: I'm not sure what symptoms you are having, but if you are having a brown discharge this may be more like spotting (old blood is usually brown). If you have a vaginal discharge, it is not likely going to change color with wiping. Best thing to do is see your doctor for an exam and to discuss your symptoms.
