Please post a clear photo of the area of the dresser unit that you wish to fix up. Without seeing exactly what the situation is that you are trying to work with, it is hard to try to offer you some realistic suggestions.
What is it? Wood, laminate, paint. Also need a picture.

This is the drawer front in question
where the dowels have gone in too far should have put dowels on other panel
Thanks for the pictures.
I am wondering if the dowels could be removed, cut down a tad, then re-inserted so that they no longer are pushing through the drawer fronts?
If this is not possible, then what about glueing some sort of fabric webbing trim across the surface of the drawer front? I am thinking fabric as it will be flexible enough to glue over the bumps, yet with the pattern, the bumps underneath might not be noticeable. I don't know what the decor of the room is, but purchasing trim by the yard need not be expensive.
