Odd horizantal cuts on bottom of my foot

For the last 3 years I have these horizontal cuts for lack of a better term. They are always on the bottom of my foot, closer to the outer edge of my foot. There is usually one big cut that has a lot of thick dry skin hanging over that I can trim with a nail clipper. As months pass, I continue trimming it and it gradually moves closer toward my toes. There are small patches that form below the big cut. Occasionally I can have 2 big cuts at a time.

I have showed my doctor and podiatrist and they don't even address it. I'm not concerned it is a major health concern, but I would like to know what it is and what causes it. Thanks in advance to anyone that helps give me the cause and if the condition has a name.

I am obese and I assume that is probably the cause, but still want answers. image
