Noticed a little bit of what looks like blood on toiled paper after DD (5) wiped

The blood was nor from her rectum. It was not a BM. It was from a pee. It looked like faint spotting on the toilet paper.

If the blood was dark, that probably means something internal. If it was bright red that probably means an external injury, scrape, cut. Just fyi.

We did and it turned out to be some constipation and bottom needed time to heal. Get it checked out.

Thanks PPs. It was pink blood after she urinated. Will follow-up with ped. I am going down a bad path of "is this precocious puberty" or "is it an endocrine disorder".

EEK!

UTI is most likely cause of light spotting at that age (assuming no external explanation). Almost certainly nothing to worry about; bet your ped gives you a course of abx.

Did you guys eat beets recently? I just saw a Royal Pains where they had a patient with pink pee, and it was due to beet drinks. If she went to a party with a red Elmo cake or something, that could also do it. (Blue dye turns the poop a really vivid shade of green, I've found...).

This happened to me when I was about her age. I was diagnosed with a prolapsed urethra and required an operation.
