Staffy red snout after playing in mud

My staffy was playing in the mud 2 days ago(she usually doesn't), and now her snout is all red. She doesn't look uncomfortable or in pain. What can it be?

Is it the whole snout area?  Any bumps, raw spots?  Hard to say what it might be or whether it is even from the mud.  May be an allergic reaction to something.  Was this in a yard or area that was possibly treated with chemicals?  I would maybe try to wash it with warm water or maybe a mild soap and keep it dry.  I would not try anything topical on it that just might make it worse. If it does not improve or looks worse, you should probably have your Vet check it.
