I didn't get a concussion or anything from the hit and haven't noticed any side effects, so I'm going to thank my lucky stars and just heal up on my own and  at myself.

Up to you. Just please keep an eye on things like vision changes, or memory
stuff. If you notice something, check it out. And yes, you will have a big
scar without stitches. YOu could put ice on it and take some sedative,
and have someone stitch it up- I did my own thumb years ago in the wild.
Quite the scar though. And usually, if it's anything with the head- it is
imperative.- Just a good rule of thumb-
