At the end of 2019, the world saw a storm of a fatal virus that spread across the globe infecting people, blocking their progress as well as lives. Covid-19, coronavirus, had knocked out as the world's strongest pandemic that snuffed everything and everyone. With due research done on this infection, we came up with some cautions to be adopted, like social distancing, going out lesser or whenever needed, and the usage of masks which sounded to be a highly efficient way to secure oneself from inhaling this virus. Thus, with this production of masks reached its peaks, but the key challenge that persists is choosing the best one. Finding the right mask causing least problems today and tomorrow meanwhile protecting one's health could be termed as the best here. We surveyed around 5000+ mask users of different age groups in northwestern part of an Asian country i.e. India, marking different parameters of their masks usage like its type, period of use, and general problems while or after using the mask, etc. Upon analysis, we found the most prominent masks used are cotton masks and surgical masks irrespective of the age group. Our findings showcased that with cotton mask one may leads to lesser after hassles of masks. Each mask types carries some after effect of its usage, wherein the most common disease found acne followed with breathlessness keeping these two-mask type as parameter. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
