Cracking paint

I was washing my car yesterday and I found a crack in the paint near the back on the roof.
The crack its only about 2in big now, will this thing spead if left alone? What can I do with it, touch up paint?

Right, but wouldn't you have to sand the porous lifted metal where the rust used to be anyway?
