Question : Iv a crack in my skull unter my skin on my forehead. Is this normal or could it be from a fall eg. when I fainted. Do I need to see a doctor as I have little headaches at times around this crack?

No need

Hi and welcome. If there are no serious symptoms such as vertigo, nausea and vomit or dizziness then there is no need to see doctor. Just rest and apply ice on it. If there are such symptoms then you should see doctor and do CT scan. Wish you good health. Regards
