    I'm pretty sure it's an actual crack, but thank you both for the advice! I unfortunately don't have a camera at the moment but it is a small crack on his head. But this isn't anything particularly life-threatening, is it? I just want to make sure he'll be okay!

    Well, like it's been said already, it's hard to actually say if it's dangerous or not without pictures I'm afraid. I hope he'll be ok!

    Seems to me that it's shed skin, but if you honestly think it's a crack I would pick up some Neosporin in case you need to apply it to the wound. Keep the environment clean, water changes - you don't want bacterial buildup leading to an infection or some other bacterial disease getting into the open wound area. It's too early to say put the frog in a quarantine tank with wet paper towels, until it's diagnosed by a professional or displays symptoms... Yeah, you'll need to show us a clear picture of the area you're describing to pinpoint what is going on.

    Do you have a camera phone?

    I can't really tell from the pic. If you truly see a wound go to a pharmacist and ask for neosporin without painkiller. Maybe he simply cut himself on something. Check the tank and remove anything that could have caused a wound. Fake plants have wires that run through them.
