Wouldn't this mean it has infinite mass and charge densities? Wouldn't that make every electron a singularity?
I know I must be mistaken, so can anyone clear this up?

It's also a wave . . . but it interacts, exchanges energy, at a mathematical point. What some people have done is equate the mass of the electron to the mass of the energy stored in it's electric field. If you do this, you arrive at a finite radius. It's ironically called the "classical electron radius". Problem is, what does it mean? Please see:

When electron is assumed that its apoint particle this mean that his charge is great compared with his mass,weight&size
