Hi G.,
Your Pediatrician is most likely talking about an Hemangioma. Hopefully it is not that and is truly only a birthmark. But I understand your concern - this is something that you must clarify so that your son can receive treatment should he need it.
Are you able to travel outside of Orlando? If so, that may be your answer. I don't know of any Dermatologists that accept Medicaid - but I would think the Medicaid would have a list of participating Doctors in Florida.
I did some searching on the web for you and found a few links that may help you:
From the MyFlorida website
"Contact that office for a list of Medicaid providers that serve your area of the state."
and your area office is:
Area 7
Orange, Osceola, Seminole, and Brevard Counties
