'Little'= irritation: If it is just small streaks on tp when wipe, is usually due to irritation or hemorrhoids. Try using baby wipes for couple of days and see if improves / resolves. If not, will need to have your dr. Look at it to be sure nothing else is going on or does not need medication to help resolve.
