Brief Answer:
Can be jock itch.

Detailed Answer:
Hello dear, welcome to Ask a doctor's service.
I read your query and here is my advice.

The itching only while walking doesn't seem related to Prednisone usage.
Also tell me if there is rash or anything else on the skin.
Itching while walking may be related to jock itch but if skin is red at this please.
Prednisone favourites jock itch formation.
The legs rubbing on clothes or on one to other may make itching worse while walking.

Hope I have answered the question.
Let me know if I can assist you further.
