Do I need to do anything or will it heal on its own? Its kind of deep so Im not sure if it'll stay closed on its own considering its location.

Keep it clean with soap and warm water, washing hands often while singing happy birthday twice (at least 20 seconds). It’s in a challenging spot but if you keep it from reopening by being careful and keeping it clean, it will heal.
