singularity Singularity of Coulomb s law

Coulomb's law says electrostatic field intensity varies as 1/r².i$1/r²$ i.e ha singularity at location of charge. now if a charge distribution is accumulation of many point charges.then then for a charged metallic sphere why do we get finite potential at surface???? it should hav been infinity.since since it is whwre charges are located. please answer as simply possible.
