as i replied in my personal email to you, i am posting my responses here:
you can do a light laser like KTP for the redness and to modulate the scar. silicone gel can also help like scar guard or kelo cote. i would wait at least a year before revising because it could heal without need for revision over time. also, he will handle things much better at the age of 6 years old. if he does need a scar revision, i can do it a year from now but he also would have to be done most likely in a hospital because he would probably not handle local anesthesia.
best,
