'53'14' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I cannot judge whether it can be defined by this definition.

'ran away from trouble it's what the dermatologist might have done' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'away' could be 'a' (abbreviation as used in sports fixtures) and 'a' is found within the answer.
'from' could be 'in' (I've seen this in other clues) and 'in' is found within the answer.
'it's' could be 'es' ('e' can mean 'electronic' which is similar to 'IT') and 'es' is found within the answer.
an anagram of 'done' is 'edon' which is present in the answer.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
