Standard adjective formation from the noun 'dermatology' using the productive suffix '-ic', so the meaning 'relating to dermatology/skin' is directly inferable.
Etymology
Dermatologic comes from the Greek root derma, which means 'skin', and you can see the same root in dermis and dermatology. So dermatologic simply refers to the study or treatment of the skin and its problems.
