I'm 14. Could I have colon cancer??

[BrittHwl]

Okay. So it's kinda embarrassing but I'm concerned. Umm, for a few months now after I use the restroom and wipe theres some blood on the tissue. I never really thought anything of it for as long as its been happening, even when I saw some colon cancer tester thingys and the idea dawned on me, I still didn't think it was anything. Well, when i used the bathroom earlier, a lot more than usual was on the tissue. Truthfully I thought the blood could be coming from i nick or something from me shaving my bikini line and it wouldn't heal. Theres usually just a spot or just a little more than a spot when I wipe but this time I just kept wiping blood. There wasn't like a major amount but still. I'm worried. And I did look up colon cancer and it said that the blood is usually in the stool. So, i'm not sure what to think of it. But, please, anybody help because i'm worried and i don't want to sound like a retard talking to people about it.

HIGHLY UNLIKELY this is any Colon cancer at 14; Doubt it.  

I would tell your parents about this if it persists/continues and consult a physician examine what is going on.  

It is embarrassing, but that is no reason not to find out what the problem is.

It is possible but not as likely.  More than 90% colon cancer cases occur over age 50. More common causes are haemorrhoids and anal fissures.

"The upper part of the GI tract will usually cause black stools due to:

Abnormal blood vessels (vascular malformation)
A tear in the esophagus from violent vomiting (Mallory-Weiss tear)
Bleeding stomach or duodenal ulcer
Inflammation of the stomach lining (gastritis)
Lack of proper blood flow to the intestines (bowel ischemia)
Trauma or foreign body
Widened, overgrown veins (called varices) in the esophagus and stomach

The lower part of the GI tract will usually cause maroon or bright red, bloody stools due to:

Anal fissures
Bowel ischemia (when blood supply is cut off to part of the intestines)
Colon polyps or colon cancer
Diverticulosis (abnormal pouches in the colon)
Hemorrhoids (common cause)
Inflammatory bowel disease (such as Crohn's disease or ulcerative colitis)
Intestinal infection (such as bacterial enterocolitis)
Small bowel tumor
Trauma or foreign body
Vascular malformation (abnormal collections of blood vessels called arteriovenous malformations or AVMs)"
