Hi,
Yes, you are right antipsychotic can cause raised level of prolactin. Prolactin may cause certain sexual problems like excessive mill production in females or decreased libido in males. However, it does not cause any significant skin changes.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
