A reddish brown discharge after periods could actually be blood mixed discharge. The two most common causes are pregnancy and birth control pills. Other causes are hypothyroidism, cervical dysplasia, cervical polyps, cervicitis, vaginitis, cervical and uterine cancer, uterine fibroids, a hormonal imbalance, genital ulcers, STDs, and stress.
Since you also had a white discharge, there is a chance that you have a fungal infection.
Discuss these possibilities with your gynecologist. It is difficult to comment beyond this without examining you. Take care!
