To answer your questions,
I started having the problem around 9:00 pm Tuesday (5/15/12) night wih severe itching. Both testis are quite enlarged and since it just began, I do not know if the itching is more at night or not. There is no oozing and I don't have diabetes that I am aware of. I was taking Prednisone, perscribed for Hives. I do not notice lymph node swelling. There is no pain, even during urination.

Hello
Since there is no pain in testicles and no pain while urinating,it excludes various reasons of testicular swelling on both sides.
Main causes for painless swelling are
Hydrocele
Varicocele( but mostly it is on one side and almost always on left side only)
Spermatocele( cyst in the scrotal sac)
Rarely testicular carcinomas.
Itching could be due to
Tine capitis
Yeast infection
Scabies
Pubic lice etc.
You must consult a doctor and get an ultrasound and possibly a CT scan of scrotum done to get the diagnosis.
For your itching,let the doctor see and decide about the diagnosis.
Treatment of itching generally requires local application of required cream and oral tablets of anti allergics.Local creams could be anti fungal and local steroid ointment while in case of scabies,you may need application of anti scabies ointment.
I hope to have answered your query however you can revert to me for any other query.
Thanks and best of luck.
