Old vs. new issues: Blood in the stool, trouble pooping, a lump at the anus, or anal rashes are symptoms that need to be evaluated by a primary care doctor or a gastrointestinal specialist. The cause can be a hemorrhoid, an anal fissure, an infection, etc... Cancer in that area would be ultra rare in a teen. If the cause is already known by the doctor, a teen can just follow her doctor's care instructions.

Occasionally after a bowel movement I will notice tiny spits of bright red blood when I wipe, nothing visible in the stool, just very small spots on the paper. There's no pain just a raw feeling. What could it be?
