This is incorrect. In fact, the Talmud there quotes Abba Arikha as explaining שנעשה בשרו כראשי לפתות - the reference is to בשרו - his flesh, a standard euphemism for male genitalia, and not עורו, skin. The sage is thus interpreting וילפת as 'he became aroused' and not 'his skin hardened.'The Talmud, deriving the word from לֶפֶת, turnip, translates 'His skin hardened like a turnip' [from fright] (Sanhedrin 19b).
