Hi,
Do not think about colon cancer because colon cancer never presents like that. The symptoms are most likely of anal fissure. Get yourself examined by a general surgeon. Simple clinical examination can clinch the diagnosis. Do not worry at all. The medication you are taking right now can be continued.
