Brief Answer:
It sounds like hemorrhoids

Detailed Answer:

Hi,

It sounds like hemorrhoidal bleeding. The bright red color on wiping support this, and if you have not had a sigmoidoscopy in the last 5 years or so, I recommend you have one. Or at least a proctoscopy.
You can consult your family doctor or a surgeon for this examination.

Hope this helps. Let me know if I can assist you further.
