Hello,
Crack on the forehead means a contusion with an open wound. Most probably he needs to get it sutured as it is about 1 inch. Local anesthesia will be infiltrated around the wound and the gaping edges will be brought together and sutured.
Please do consult a surgeon so that he can assess the depth of wound and treat it. He may need a MRI brain if he has other symptoms like:
1) Severe headache
2) Vomiting
3) Dizziness
4) Difficulty in movements of legs and arms
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
